How to Use the B5 Arena MCP in CrewAI

Q: How do I pass the B5 Arena MCP Server to my CrewAI agents?

You simply add your Vinkius endpoint URL to the mcps list inside your CrewAI agent definition. The framework automatically discovers and exposes the CS2 matchmaking tools.

Q: Can I restrict which CrewAI agents can access B5 Arena MCP tools?

Yes. Use MCPServerHTTP with a toolfilter to limit tool access. You can let your analyst agent run getrankinglist while blocking your scout agent from it.

Multi-agent Counter-Strike scouting with CrewAI

Your crew uses `get_recent_matches` and `get_team_info` to run deep scouting reports on upcoming opponents. The research agent pulls the match telemetry, stores it in shared memory, and passes it to the analyst agent. Your crew acts like a professional esports coaching staff, working entirely in parallel.

Autonomous tournament security sweeps

This integration uses `get_ban_list` and `search_user` to run autonomous security sweeps across tournament lobbies. By filtering tools with `MCPServerHTTP`, you control exactly what each agent can do. Your scout agent can search users, but only your moderator agent can pull ban histories.

Live lobby monitoring and status tracking

Your agents run `get_server_status` and `get_match_scoreboard` to track active match health and collect live telemetries. You pass the Vinkius URL directly into the MCP server list when defining your CrewAI agents. The framework handles the connection, letting your agents focus on monitoring competitive matches.

Setup guide

Set up B5 Arena MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke B5 Arena tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="B5 Arena Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze B5 Arena data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct B5 Arena access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent B5 Arena transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="B5 Arena Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze B5 Arena data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct B5 Arena access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent B5 Arena transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()
    print(result)
